Subject: [Leica] Adobe Lightroom's Newest Update (RicCarter)

I'm big on adobe and they don't usually mess up. But here when they did they
fixed it. I LOVE Adobe products starting from a font I get in the mail from
them on three floppy disks  in the 80's, Garamond which is still my
signature font despite all the derivations on the name which came afterword.
Its postscript. I never met an Adobe product I didn't like and want.

Since the Typ 007 is added by the newest I am hoping
